Creating New Articles

An "article" is a snippet of information about a given topic. First, search the site to see if there is already an article on the subject. If you use the "search box" and have spelled the name the same way as an existing article, it will bring up that article. If it is similar, you may find the article you are looking for under "title matches" or "page matches". If there is no similar article, then go ahead and create one!

There are three ways to create a new article on any subject:

• 1) When you search for a term that doesn't exist, you land on "Search results" with "no page title matches". At the top of this page, select the link titled: "create an article with this title". That link takes you to a new "edit page" on which you should enter the information (description) that makes up the article.

• 2) The second way is to create a "dangling link" on another page and then click the link! See Wiki Links for more.

• 3) Use one of the predefined input boxes on the Community Portal Page.
